Ответ:

If I were you, I would choose between being a babysitter and being a lifeguard. I wouldn’t work in a supermarket as a cashier because although it is a responsible job and you would meet lots of people, you would probably have to work shifts and it would be very boring and repetitive work. Also, you would be stuck indoors all the time.

I think babysitting would be a good job because you are very good with children. Also, you would probably only have to do it in the evenings so you would have most of your days free. On the other hand, you may not have the opportunity to earn very much money.

Therefore, I think you should go for a job as a lifeguard. You are very good at sports and so you have the swimming ability needed. Also you get to spend the whole summer on the beach. Finally, you would have all your evenings free and I think it would be good experience for the future. It would also be good to have a position of responsibility like this on your CV.

На твоём месте я бы выбрал между работой няни и работой спасателя. Я бы не стал работать кассиром в супермаркете, потому что, хотя это ответственная работа и вы встретите много людей, вам, вероятно, придётся работать посменно, и это будет очень скучная и повторяющаяся работа. Кроме того, вы всё время будете торчать в помещении.

Я думаю, что няня была бы хорошей работой, потому что вы очень хорошо ладите с детьми. Кроме того, вам, вероятно, придётся делать это только по вечерам, чтобы у вас была большая часть свободных дней. С другой стороны, у вас может не быть возможности заработать очень много денег.

Поэтому я думаю, что вам следует пойти на работу спасателем. Вы очень хорошо занимаетесь спортом, и поэтому у вас есть необходимые способности к плаванию. Кроме того, вы можете провести всё лето на пляже. Наконец, у вас будут все свободные вечера, и я думаю, что это будет хороший опыт для будущего. Также было бы неплохо иметь такую ответственную должность в своём резюме.

Ответ:
The speaker chooses the lifeguard job because she thinks that it would be a good match to her friend’s skills, it would be more enjoyable to be on the beach than indoors in the summer. Also, she thinks it would be good to have such a position of responsibility on her CV for the future.

Оратор выбирает работу спасателя, потому что она думает, что это будет хорошо сочетаться с навыками её подруги, было бы приятнее находиться на пляже, чем в помещении летом. Кроме того, она считает, что было бы хорошо иметь такую ответственную должность в своём резюме на будущее.

When the summer 1) comes, many of us think of getting our swimsuits out and heading for the nearest beach. Some even plan a holiday to some exotic location. For many others, however, it’s time to think about working.

2) Finding a summer job isn’t always easy though, especially if you don’t have experience in the particular field. Here’s some simple advice that 3) will help you get that badly needed summer job. The most important thing is 4) to make sure you start looking early. Employers plan the summer well ahead and recruit early, so the 5) earlier you apply, the more organised you look. Think about the areas of work that you are interested in and focus on the ones that tend 6) to take on students during the summer period. Have a look in the local newspaper classifieds section but remember that summer jobs are not always advertised in the newspaper so it is a good idea 7) to go and visit companies in person.

Когда наступает лето, многие из нас думают о том, чтобы достать купальники и отправиться на ближайший пляж. Некоторые даже планируют провести отпуск в каком-нибудь экзотическом месте. Однако для многих других пришло время подумать о работе.

Однако найти летнюю работу не всегда легко, особенно если у вас нет опыта в конкретной области. Вот несколько простых советов, которые помогут вам получить эту крайне необходимую летнюю работу. Самое главное — убедиться, что вы начинаете искать заранее. Работодатели планируют лето заранее и набирают сотрудников рано, поэтому чем раньше вы подаёте заявление, тем более организованным вы выглядите. Подумайте о тех областях работы, которые вас интересуют, и сосредоточьтесь на тех, которые, как правило, берут на себя студенты в летний период. Загляните в раздел объявлений в местной газете, но помните, что летние вакансии не всегда рекламируются в газете, поэтому рекомендуется лично посетить компании.

Definition of Brackets in Punctuation

Brackets are the punctuation marks that are in the form of a pair and are majorly used to include certain written text within them besides the main text (written without brackets).

Types of Brackets

The following are the types of brackets being used these days for different purposes:

Parentheses ( )	also known as ‘round brackets’ or ‘curved brackets’
Square Brackets [ ]	also known as closed or hard brackets
Curly Brackets { }	also known as curly or French brackets
Chevrons ⟨ ⟩	also known as angle brackets

Usage of Brackets

The brackets are one of the most commonly used punctuation mark in English grammar therefore, it is necessary for one to be aware of the various ways of its correct usage to improve towards good writing skills.

Examples of Uses of Brackets in Sentence Making

Inclusion of Extra Information

Sometimes a writer feels the need of adding an additional phrase in between the sentence or after it. For this purpose, the brackets are often used.

For example,

• I decided to meet Jane (my childhood friend) today.
• The children (though they weren’t willing at first) agreed to play inside the house.
• My best friend Robert (who also went to school with me) talked to the senior.

Making Something Clear

The brackets can be used by the writer when he wants to clarify something written in the main text so that there is no chance of the reader getting confused that what he is talking about.

For example,

• I am reading the second chapter of this novel [Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’] which I bought yesterday.
• Diana, Mary and Sloan were talking to each other when suddenly she [Diana] fainted.
• James, Tim, Justin and Paul were walking silently. However after sometime, the two of them [Tim and Paul] joyfully started running around the trees.

Adding Omitted Words

Sometimes when you quote from a written text, the quotation may sound odd or difficult to understand outside its context. Therefore, in order to help clarify the meaning of the quote the user of the quote is given the privilege of adding additional words within square brackets for the purpose of clarifying the meaning of the whole sentence.

For example,

• “Don’t try to mess around [with her] if you want to be my friend.”
• “Being honest with your [close] friends is a good quality to have.”
• “I doubt his [writing] abilities.”

Indicating Misspelled Words

When you are quoting from another source, sometimes you may find certain spelling mistakes in the original text. So, in order to clarify this fact to the reader that you have not mistakenly misspelled the word, rather it is misspelled originally, you may use the brackets and insert the italicized word of ‘sic’.

For example,

• “The rober [sic] ran away with the lady’s purse in a jiffy.”
• “A young boy came up to the seargent [sic] and told him the reality.”
• “There were seaven [sic] people found dead in the sudden upheaval.”

Indicating the Italics or Underlining

When the writer quotes from another text and wants the reader to focus on a particular word of the text he may use italics or underlining for that word in the quoted text. However, he does need to mention the fact that he did this by himself and the italicized or underlined style for the word or phrase wasn’t in the original text. For this purpose, brackets shall be used.

For example,

• Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” [Italics added]
• “Life is half spent before we know what it is” according to George Herbert. [Underline added]

Indicating Singular or Plural

For clarity, writers may tend to add an additional letter or word that may tell the reader that the noun used in the sentence can also be singular or plural, both cases.

For example,

• This section is for writing down your phone number(s).
• Please write down the name of your sibling(s) here.
• What is (are) the name(s) of your best friend(s)?
